"Sport" mode in most trannies, AFAIK, isn't any more driver-adapted, just more aggressively programmed. "Tow/haul" mode in my GM truck is approximately the same, I believe; higher shift points, less likely to shift into OD, and less upshifting when coasting. It sure makes my truck more responsive and better in congested traffic.
